Window Tint

[Bogus]

I didn't read every post in this thread so far, but I have 3M film it's great quality, just make sure you ask for the kind that's made to block heat. If you just go dark color it wont do a damn thing for heat.

Where I got my tint installed they had a display with different types of film on a glass box and a heat bulb inside. One of the films was clear in color but made to block heat and did a much better job than a dark colored film only for blocking light.

I was glad to find this thread before getting my sonic tinted.

Decided to go with 3M FX Premium, 35% Front, 25% Rear, 15% on the hatch...and, did something I hadn't seen in this thread, went ahead and tinted the windshield with Suntek CXP (carbon) 70%. I love it turned out all around! Also, neither of these tints are metal based so no interference what so ever.

My windshield is tinted with 50%. I love it. I find myself using my sun visors less often.

50% Whoa! I thought I was pushing it with 70% but I agree I dont use the visors quite as much.

Ha I've had many compliments but cops would probably think otherwise

From looking at your picture...err, your car, I'm sure you've received many compliments...

Hey Blue, I noticed that tint is listed on my window sticker as a "dealer installed upgrade" - not factory installed. I thought mine came that way from the factory, but I guess not. The name of the company who installed the tint is also on the purchase paperwork from the dealer. I will give them a call to ask if they have a record of the % of tint installed on my car.

OK, just heard back from the dealer - they said 35% is what was installed at the dealer on the back glass and two back windows.

35% vlt?

 

[Macehammer]

I'm confused. Did you get a tint as done at the dealer, or are you talking standard... factory....

 

[Bogus]

Dealer installed. He said so in his last post.

Ok...
